At the Jan. 7 Alexandria School Board meeting, Erika Melman described why virtual learning does not work for her son, an elementary aged Alexandria City Public Schools student with disabilities.
He is hard of hearing and cannot always hear or lip read the sometimes delayed audio of his Virtual PLUS+ classes, Melman said. Her child’s school has tried various options, without success, and so it falls to her, a single mom and essential worker, to be her son’s instructional aide. The months of virtual learning have also caused her son to lose confidence, struggle to reach his goals and develop school avoidant behaviors, she said.
